Great pics Mike! Didn't realize Lombard St is closed to traffic now. Glad I got to cruise if a few times. In the early 90s I rode my Yamaha FJ 1200 up HWY 1 to the motorcycle GP races at

wheel never touching the ground! Also remember watching Dan Gurney go through it in a Celica pace car full tilt boogie and taking a second at the right turn apex to smile and wave at the fans everytime he went by!
That Lancia has to be the lowest slung thing ever made!

Slices of history and a Peugeot 505!
